Long ago, there was a great war between the humans and darkness. The war lasted for many generations, and when all hope seemed lost, a light appeared in the darkness. A hero appeared, and with a sword of golden light, he drove out the evil and brought peace to the kingdom. Our story follows the path of a typical village boy named Cole. Tall and lean, but not weak, he is used to long, grueling days of work. His village is in a forest far from the prying eyes of other humans, but the forest itself…

A cold chill hangs in the air during the predawn hours that slowly saunter by as I creep cautiously towards that one towering tree that will be home for that fateful opening day. The frigid textured steel greets my exposed hands with a rough hello as the ascent to my treestand begins. Finally, as my body shudders from lack of warmth the platform is underneath my feet and I begin to layer on camouflage clothing. Without archery hunting or any type of hunting I lack stress relief as I…

They all marched closer to each other. When the chipmunk leader said that they just needed some acorns for the winter because they took all…

Oct. 2017 “The Woods” Today was finally the day I was going to go to the woods and adventure with some friends. I had been looking forward to this day since all the way from January. It was now February and I had already packed a week before. I was now on my way to Gary’s house. Mike and Ben had already arrived there before me. “Finally your here” said Gary with a mad look. He was always the impatient one in our group. It was 3:50 pm and we had planned to be in the woods by 3:30 so I…

1. WANDA TODAY, Monday, Wanda Petronski was not in tier seat. But nobody, not even Peggy and Madeline, the girls who started all the fun, noticed her absence. Usually Wanda sat m the next to the last seat in the last row in Room 13. She sat in the corner of the room where the rough boys who did not make good marks on their report cards sat; the corner of the room where there was most scuffling of feet, most roars of laughter when anything funny was said, and most mud and dirt on the floor. Wanda…

“Now, today I will be teaching you all about the basics of grappling. We have some grappling hooks for all of you and we will begin to take turns scaling this large wall one at a time.” Goodfellow showed us how the hooks worked. They were made from heavy iron and braided fiber rope. We had to twirl them through the air to launch them up to the top of the wall. Then we had to place our feet against it and start climbing up. It took a few practices, but I began to pick up on it pretty quickly.…
